[Shotimes] Rear brake pads for the track

[Ron Porter]

Zack, before you do anything, get some GOOD pads for the car. The '96 fronts
and bias plug rears work very well at the track with good pads. The solid
rear rotors work fine, there is no benefit to the vented on the rear for any
n/a SHO with normal braking needs on the tracks we run.

Same question, but on 93+ rear solid rotors, or do I really need to consider
going to a 92- rear.
 I was interested int he 11.6 rear because it may be a cheaper alternative
to move my front setup to the back for the cost of the brackets and some
pads vs. getting new pads and rotors, and maybe calipers in the back. I
butned off some of the boot surrounding one caliper, and have one slider pin
that needs unsticking.The rotors are slightly scored and will need replaced.
